>> this is breaking news. >> good afternoon. i am sarah caldwell. we begin with breaking news and a major change to the coaching staff of the baltimore ravens. 11 news has confirmed that they have fired the offensive coordinator, kim cameron. he has come under fire in recent weeks for its conservative play calling. quarterback coach jim caldwell will take over as coordinator. gerry sandusky joins us now on the phone. what can you tell us?

>> there is a lot of talk of discontent among the ravens players in the last couple of weeks. and that is not on natural when you lose two heartbreaking games. but the ravens in the last two weeks had a chance in a fourth quarter lead if they win against the steelers at home and if they win it against washington, they come away with a chance in the playoffs. this is not just about what happened in the last two weeks. over the last two years, they have put more financial resources into their offense than they ever have prior. and there was inconsistency with the offense and the performance on the road and at home. and their ability to win games. it is all part of the equation. but the real crux of it comes with three games left in the

regular-season and must-win situations. now they must face peyton manning. and his former head coach, jim caldwell, takes over the ravens offense. >> we appreciate your insight. we know you will be following developments. not surprisingly, we have gotten a lot of comments on facebook. they always blame the coach. when will they realize it is the team? another person writes, who hired him? maybe that is the person that should be replaced. another person writes, it is horrible. we all have bad days. be sure to check wbal for updates. a member of the u.s. navy's elite seal team 6 was killed during the rescue of an american doctor, kidnapped by the taliban

in afghanistan. >> a tragic turn of events as the -- a u.s. navy seal loses lives -- loses his life saving the life of a fellow american citizen. it was a joint u.s.-afghan effort. the navy seal identity has not been released by the pentagon, but he is being labeled a hero by the top brass in washington, including secretary of defense leon panetta and barack obama. he gave his life for his fellow americans and he and his teammates remind us once more of the selfless service that makes our nation strong, safe, and free. his sacrifice has not been lost on the doctor's family, who

offered their condolences and thank him for his bravery and for the bravery of his teammates. >> if the fiscal cliff budget talks fail to produce a deal, more than 2 million will lose their jobs after christmas. it would affect those who have been out of work more than six months. and another 1 million people will lose benefits during the three months at the beginning of 2013. president obama has announced he is committed to extending jobless benefits for another year. the governor has -- the government has spent $520 billion on unemployment extensions since 2008. many republicans do not support extending benefits without cutting other costs. and marilyn couples need not

worry. attorney-general doug danziger said even if the high court comes down on the defense of marriage act, it will not impact marilyn's law. -- maryland because the law. >> what it could do, if it were to uphold that, which is unlikely, then it would continue to deny same-sex couples rights that come to them under the federal laws. for example, on tax returns. even though maryland has passed same-sex marriage, you cannot file federal tax returns as a married couple. that would stay in place. same-sex couples can and will be able to get married in maryland. >> the court will take up the case in march and should announce the decision by june.

>> the fog is starting to live, but still mostly cloudy out right now. the wind is starting to shift out of the south. 57 degrees currently at b.w.i. marshall. the dewpoint is at 57 as well. we are seeing the wind pick up, which should clear out the low- lying clouds. mid 50's around baltimore. loh 50's north of us. near 60 degrees to our south. for details on the crazy weather pattern, more coming our way. >> police are investigating a deadly shooting in north baltimore over the weekend. they found the victim just before 3:00 p.m. saturday in the 800 block of rich hill park. he died shortly after writing to the hospital. and another deadly shooting in west baltimore. shortly after 10:00 p.m. friday night, investigators found a man shot and monday on the 2300 block of west would avenue along

>> i have saved money. i am happier. >> why the price drop? much of it is simple supply and demand. the man always drops during winter. and we are driving more fuel- efficient cars today. also, u.s. supplies to meet -- had increased dramatically. >> crude oil supplies are at an 18-year high and gasoline demand is that a 10-year low. we have become less reliant on imports to meet our demand. >> >> with domestic production rising, the that mean we will never have to worry about $4 or $5 per gallon gas? well, not yet. >> there is a real possibility we will see $4 per gallon nationally this spring. $5 per gallon is something we are still looking at. i would not be surprised to see fuel plants at $5 per gallon if

there is another refining issue. >> for now, americans will have a few extra dollars ought in our pockets to spend on family and friends this holiday season. >> that was tom catillo reporting. gas prices being lower are especially good news for fed ex. this is the busiest day of the year for fedex as workers hit the ground running to deliver your packages and presence. a record-breaking 19 million packages are expected. that is more than 1900 per second. a family oriented show that normally have you grabbing for tissues has a debt -- a different ride lately. thanks to a new character. for a sneak peek of the new "km," we invited ilorin gramm and ray radogno -- hood," we have invited

be across the state for most of the day and that will bring warmer temperatures of a cold front will come in later tonight and that will bring the temperatures back down. the cold front sits all the way down into texas. you can see the line of thunderstorms in the southeast. the weather is sparking up in places like alabama and moving toward georgia as well. you can see the gold price -- the cold front with the temperatures. just above single digits in minneapolis. the cold air pushes all the way to the appalachians. mild air from baltimore into florida. that is hanging on, but only for so long. the temperatures have been all over the place. it depends on how thick the fog is, what direction the winds are

a study of nearly 82,000 children, researchers found that those who had respiratory distress or oxygen deprivation in utero had an increased risk of developing hyper attention -- hyperactivity disorder. iron supplements may help reduce behavior problems in young children. babies who were born with a low birth weight, but otherwise healthy, were less likely to show signs of the real problems at age 3 if they were given iron supplements as newborns. but doctors warned against giving newborns any supplement unless directed by a pediatrician. good advice. still to come, your maryland lottery pick three and pick four numbers. and a look at how wall street is performing at this hour.
